Hi, I'm looking to make new friend on here. I'm 45 and have had a few failed attempts at losing weight. Started lifting about 6 months ago and my measurements are changing even if the scale number isn't. Now I have my gym habit on track looking to cut so I can lose some of the extra fat I'm carrying around. Friend me here…

The fatigue was the reason I went onto HRT in the first place. It was unlike any tiredness I have felt before. Sleep didn't ease it - my whole body felt heavy and everything was an effort. Unfortunately, in the UK bio-identical progesterone is hard to come by - my doc didn't know of any licensed here for NHS use. The…

Just as a note in the UK a large glass of wine is now often 250ml (especially the chain bars such as All Bar One), a medium glass is 175ml and a small is 125ml. So as most bottles contain 750 ml you only get 3 glasses out of a bottle. It means you are drinking much more than you realise and the OP had a full bottle of wine…

I have a fitbit flex. I love it. I was torn between that and the Jawbone UP24 but from what I could see I was paying another £30 for the Jawbone UP24 for not much more features. I didn't want anything too fancy and the flex seemed to fit what I wanted it for: 1. It syncs with my Android phone - the app is actually really…

I am a newbie with a fitbit and this is what I have found so far: I want to lose 2lbs a week so have set both my fitbit and my MFP to this. So I need to have a daily calorie deficit of 1000 calories to lose 2 lbs a week. However, a 1000 calorie deficit takes me below 1200 calories based on my base sedentary TDEE. This is…

As people have said, there isn't much love on here for meal replacements as it doesn't teach you anything about nutrition or re-train your habits into healthier lifestyle. Most meal replacements also operate as very low calorie diets - ie less than 1200 calories which is not recommended and is not great for your health. If…

The only thing I would comment is that the media have picked up on what Helen Mirren said and spun it into a something which warps what she actually said. If you read the interview where she discusses the Canadian Airforce exercises, she says that she does them for just a couple of weeks when she is feeling too unfit to go…

If OP or anyone else wants to add me. I've been logging daily for 25 days now so according to most theories this is now a habit and therefore likely to stick around. Yay! I live in the UK.

Me! Ziggy is a fluffy white monster (my avatar), a rescue cat who is around 3 years old and Milly who will be around 7 now. Their 'brother' George is waiting for us on the rainbow bridge - he died two years ago. Just curled up one day on the settee and never woke up. :( I would have lots more if my OH let me.

Hi, I was diagnosed as premenopausal last year and after struggling with the depression and crashing fatigue for about six months I was put on HRT patches to help with the symptoms. Anger is much better, irritability worse, hot flushes and fatigue practically gone. But from being diagnosed I put on 21lbs which I am really…

Those of you who have had weight loss with Insanity ...Do you all have your cal intake set to what Insanity recommends or what MFP suggests? MFP suggests 1200 for me but Insanity is at approx 1600! I was confused with this too but if you put your exercise into the MFP diary it adds on those calories to your daily total so…
